  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Tom Servo quips, while the scene shows a vast UNIVAC-style contraption: "I know what this is! It's a Chinese personal computer! Real portable!" The episode was made somewhere around 1990 or '91, long before China became the go-to country for personal electronics manufacturing.
  • Values Dissonance: Crow's rant about Yellowface was clearly meant to be a frivolous complaint for comic effect. A few decades later, many consider the practice fully racist and offensive.
